Kyun………..Anpne Aap Se Khafa Khafa, Zara Zara Sa Naraaz Hai Dil

The reverse culture shocks….

…..when I went home recently after a gap of 3+ years did not involve the burgeoning number of new shopping malls, or the new fly-overs, or the sudden new-fangled fad for Mehendi (Gariahata crossing was chock-full of Mehendi-wallahs adorning nubile arms), or even the (as Dipanjan had warned) inflated value of the rupee [...]

Should I be called Bruce, Bruce, Bruce or Bruce?

Housekeeping notes

A week ago, I changed the template for the blog. I prefer this two columns on the right-side look as well as the better contrast between the fonts and the background. Not a big fan of the font-style or size that comes with it though. But since I am yet to find the perfect template [...]

Mr. Pondit Goes to Washington

Off to Bethesda and DC for the rest of the week. Will be attending a conference in Bethesda - then sightseeing in DC/Baltimore over the weekend. Maybe influence a senator or two while I am at it :-).
